MICHAEL1977 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Had head gasket go out in driveway. Didn’t get hot because I didn’t drive it far. So wasn’t concerned with warping. Put in new gaskets, torqued in sequence. I think it was 22 ft lbs, then 27 up to 42. Replaced intake gaskets as well. Stated up...still blew steam. Pulled plugs/ coolant in all cylinders :( soooo was head warped? It so wouldn’t I just have coolant in cylinders in affected side? If intake or carb gaskets bad, how much coolant would I loose? Cause it drained quite a bit from radiator pretty quick. need “short” term fix, maybe double gasket until I can get heads machined?? am I missing anything??

George1943 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 My first thought is your intake manifold gasket(s) is leaking water into the intake part of the manifold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I’ve never heard of doubling a headgasket. Most likely intake gaskets as mentioned. Cheaper to try those first. Heads shouldn’t be warped but can’t tell from here. There’s an archive of a backyard way to get slight warpage out if it comes to that and if you want to try the DIY method. To me , the vacuum of the intake is why it drank so much from the radiator. I’ve had intake gaskets go on an 1800 ohc and same thing - lost lots of coolant and sent me into a panic thinking h/g’s . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
